MORE HELP NEEDED PLEASE :)

well John Berninger helped me out on my first speed bump(thanks, duh on my part), but now im at this point.
 
When i run the up2date on the client i get the following 
[root@foo1 rhn]# up2date
Error communicating with server.  The message was:
SSL_connect error

Now im sure its a server issue, here is my problem with that:
[root@up2date docs]# /etc/init.d/current start
Starting Current(stunnel):                                 [  OK  ]
Starting Current(daemon):                                  [  OK  ]
[root@up2date docs]# !tail
tail -f /var/log/messages

====WHEN I CONNECT FROM THE CLIENT THE FOLLOWING SHOWS===

so of course 8080 isnt open,  so at this point i realized i could do 
log_file = /var/current.log
which i had hashed out, and low and behold i got more logs....great but this is what i got
 
tail -f /var/current.log
Apr 04 04:58:47 Current server v1.0.2 starting, released under the GPL
Apr 04 04:58:47 Error opening channel 'redhatalpha6.2'
Apr 04 04:58:47 Shutting down because we could not start the server

OK sooooo i just hashed that section and removed it from valid_channels = so now i have valid_channels = redhatalpha7.1 redhati386-6.2 redhati386-7.2
 
so i reastart the daemons and this is what i ended up with
 
Apr 04 05:00:09 Current server v1.0.2 starting, released under the GPL
Apr 04 05:00:09 Error opening channel 'redhatalpha7.1'
Apr 04 05:00:09 Shutting down because we could not start the server

ok now im thinking its maybe cause of this littttle line db_dir = /var/ftp/pub/errata/alpha/
and not actually having a db in it or any files just a folder to my rpms, but i dont know what to put in this file. which leads me to here and the irc channel.
 
Here is what my entrys look like
[alpha71]
label = redhatalpha7.1
name = Alpha71
parent_channel =
arch = alpha
os_release = 7.1
description = alpha 7.1 release

rpm_dirs = /var/ftp/pub/errata/alpha/7.1/
xrpm_dirs =
src_dirs =
db_dir = /var/ftp/pub/errata/alpha/

My question is what can i do to get current to listen on 8080. i know this has gotta be simple.  i am a bit lost on what  db_dir   = directory containing the current databases is, ive seen people talking about sql patch and i thought i saw some db files to download but i cant find that source.  Can someone point me to the right area. Thanks in advance
